Question
What symptoms might a child experience when they have tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is one of the common childhood illnesses, characterized by symptoms such as sore throat, severe coughing, low-grade fever, possibly high fever (up to 40°C), chills, headache, and overall weakness. The tonsils may become red and swollen due to congestion, and in severe cases, may lead to complications such as asthma, sepsis, or nephritis. It is recommended to seek medical diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible if the condition is severe.
